Health-care Exhibition Closed

May 10, 1985

A large exhibition center on health care that was to be built in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., has been scrapped. Samuel Davis, president of the center called EcuMed, blamed the decision on ``radical and turbulent changes in the health-care industry,`` including the merger of American Hospital Supply Corp. and Hospital Corporation of America. Davis said Chicago`s Crown family and Tishman Speyer Properties of New York had already spent about $15 million developing the project, which was to cost $775 million.
